It really is unbelievable stuff. Look at the fans, the players, they didn't know how to react.
That's the beauty of football, that's what makes it so incredible on an afternoon like this.

And you've got a parade in Aberdeen to look forward to tomorrow.
Plenty of you won't have slept by then, I imagine.

'No complacency' from Celtic, says Rodgerspublished at 18:39 British Summer Time 24 May
FT: Aberdeen 1-1 Celtic (4-3 on pens)
More from Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers: "It wasn't complacency, no. We had a real desire and hunger to win the game. It just happens, we were very safe in our midfield. Not penetrating enough with and without the ball in those areas.
"We came inside a little too often. It's a cup final, it can happen. You have to earn it. Doesn't matter what's happened before in the league. You have to earn victories here at Hampden. Sadly we weren't able to do it.
"That is football, that's sport. We're not robots. It shows you how incredible this club, and group of players, have been - to be so consistently good.
"Looking at the bigger picture, we won the league title, won the League Cup, sadly we just couldn't go that next step.
"It's been a really good season for us. This will hurt. That's your motivation, that drives you going into next season.
"There's no doubt that any setback you have provides that stimulus and motivation going forward. It's a sore one today.
"But we can't have any complaints, we always look at ourselves and we didn't do enough in the offensive side of the game."
'That's why winning treble is great achievement'published at 18:36 British Summer Time 24 May

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Scotland: "That's why it's such a great achievement when you can win all the domestic trophies.
"But firstly, congratulations to Aberdeen. The game could have gone either way, so we've got no excuse. We didn't do enough today, I didn't feel. It was all a bit safe.
"Our quality, our running, especially in the final third. We had a lot of the ball, but we lacked our combinations, our speed in the final third, our runs. When you play like that, and Aberdeen defend well, that made it difficult for us.
"With the greatest respect, it was more ourselves. We failed to get to the level you need to get to. We've played against a 5-3-2 so many times this season, scored goals against it. But you have to be slick, precise, running, and not be safe.
"There were too many times where we weren't getting turned, we were setting the ball back. You need that personality. Unfortunately, that combination of not being at our level and Aberdeen being very motivated to defend, we couldn't quite make the breakthrough."

Still can't get over how good those Aberdeen penalties were.
'Pressure's for tyres' and all that.

Aberdeen midfielder Dante Polvara tells BBC Scotland: "I've been here four seasons, we've gone through a lot.
"The whole time I've been here, I've just wanted to give the fans something. Honestly, I never would've imagined."

Aberdeen midfielder Leighton Clarkson tells BBC Scotland: "Absolutely incredible. No-one believed in us. We always had that hope, that bit of faith that we could come here and do it.
"We came into this game believing and we've done it. Everyone was unbelievable. I'm so happy."
What does it mean for Europe?published at 18:26 British Summer Time 24 May

We haven't even discussed what this means for Aberdeen in Europe.
They have snatched the Europa League play-off place off Hibs, meaning they are, at the very least, guaranteed Conference League football until the winter.
